<h2> Class numbers vary from week to week, but there’s generally plenty of time for your teacher to give everyone individual attention with their mosaic project as required.   </h2>

<h3><strong>You will go away from one of our classes feeling inspired and ready to create your next masterpiece. Mosaic is a great medium for beginners because it is accessible for people who don’t have much confidence in their ability to draw. Images can be rendered merely by arranging tile by trial and error until you like what you see. Water, tea and coffee provided, please bring your own food, herbal teas, cool drinks etc.</strong></h3>
